Children's gang robs bus passengers at gunpoint

A gang of 50 youngsters, including girls and children as young as seven, terrorised and assaulted passengers on a bus in Birmingham, before robbing them at gunpoint.

A 24-year-old man was dragged from his seat and had a hand gun held to his head while he was robbed of his bus pass and loose change. Gang members then dragged another man to the front of the bus, punched him in the face and robbed him. A woman was also assaulted and had her handbag stolen before the gang jumped off the bus and fled.
